is working, buy in and make your own business. what makes veterans particularly suited to be a franchise owner? >> well, as a veteran myself, we were trained to follow protocols and systems and carry out a mission with precise -- precision and focus to make sure we deliver results. enfranchising has a vast linear correlation to the business world. what we find intriguing is that veterans are carrying out the mission division of our business a long side with the protocols in preccse and accurate manner which makes and if successful franchisee. melissa: what do you think is particularly hard when you come back to find a job, and why does this fit better? you might go out and try and get a different job. obviously you have your own personal experience and you have seen this with others. why is this a particularly good fit versus other challenges?

>> i remember when i transition back into civilian life, it is quite a shock. you leave the environment that every hour of the day is calculated, and you know what you need to do. now you don't really know what to do with yourself. franchising is an advantage to the veteran because it provides structure, a system, and an easing transition to those folks who want to get into the business world. so it really makes it appealing to them. melissa: you are saying that you are used to having someone tell you what to do all the time at certain times. to me that makes it sound like it would be difficult to be your own boss at that. >> not really. in the military we don't really tell people what to do. we are all part of the team, and we inspire people to action. franchising is all about being part of the team. so that to go together so well because it is about a group of people that together try to carry them mission and make the world a better place so there is
5:46 pm
no better way in franchising in doing that. melissa: do you have veterans that have already taken you on your offer and started their own business? >> yes, i do. i have veterans as franchisees' and team members that i brought into my organization. it has been going very well. i can absolutely define and see those folks carrying out the mission and running their businesses in any effective way of following protocol and procedure properly. i can already see it is successful and know that is a successful franchising as all. melissa: thank you for your time in what you're doing for veterans and your service. >> thank you. god bless america and god bless our troops. melissa: at the veterans day. next on "money," call them gold diggers. your cell phone may now be the indication of your personal wealth and prosperity. they could be sizing you up based upon what you use.
